Buy this sought-afte Muffy VanderBear, "The Little Peddler Doll Bear", produced by North American Bear.
Made exclusively for the 1997 10th Anniversary Walt Disney World Teddy Bear and Doll Convention, Orlando, Florida.
Adorable in so many respects, the peddler bear begs to be loved!
Muffy offers gifts for the Twelve Days of Christmas in a most novel, magical way!
She wears a taffeta dress with the celebrated lyrics dancing around the hem, a floral print shawl, and a plaid taffeta overskirt with pockets brimming with gifts.
Her pockets, full of seven swans-a-swimming, three French hens, and her charms of maids-a-smiling and drummers drumming, are sure to have all the lords-a-leaping and piper piping. She carries five golden rings in one paw and a real woven basket with six geese-a-laying in the other. And she wears turtle dove shoes!
four calling birds and a partridge in a pear tree adorn her hat!
Barbara isenberg, Odl Bauer, and Katya Bauer designed the Muffy Peddler bear.
On the back is the certificate of authenticity which reads, "This is to certify that Muffy the Little peddler Doll: Is a numbered limited edition of 5,000 pieces". It is designed exclusively to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of Walt Disney World Teddy Bear & Doll Convention in 1997.
Muffy also has a wrist tag that explains the history of Peddler Dolls in England, further authenticates the exclusive production of the bear and stand, and is signed by the artists.
A great Muffy collectible, simply a "must".
